HM pizza went down a treat,then my Icelandic neighbour called in with a massive bag of sweets that I shared out with the kids and stashed a few.

Other neighbour brought me 6 limes so I'm going to do a cheesecake and chop the rest into quarters and freeze for Sangria.Yayyyyy.

Fridge has roast beef in for tomorrow ,odd tagliatelli with sauce and meatballs,jelly which I can use tomorrow for lunch / tea depends how the day goes.We are expecting rain.

Made 12 marmalade muffins and had enough mix left over to make a 3inch deep cake bar that I've frozen - will drizzle with orange or lemon icing.

Sorry your not feeling well,
If the cough is driving you mad, mix some cider vinegar, honey and hot water, let it cool and then keep sipping it. Also I know it sounds daft but if you have any Vicks vapour rub, rub it on the soles of your feet, honest it works.

can someone give me some advice please today i made the chocolate muffins but when they had cooled and i tried to transfer them they went all crumbly.
i followed the recipe to the book.

Not a good day money wise today - got lured into the Next sale and although I picked up some good bargains the guilt over spending the money is not good. Was is worse is that I used my mastercard as we have no money in the current account. :mad::mad::mad:

However. last night I made baked potato pizzas which were delicious. :T

Evening folks, I need to update my spends, but will do that tomorrow.

I got a some silicone baking stuff in Home and Bargains, £1.99 each. I got 2 sandwich tins, 2 square tins and a loaf tin. Do I need to do anything with them before using them? I've washed them in soapy warm water. There arent any instructions, doh!!

Angelnikki I know how you feel about the snacks brought 2 big bags of crisps normally it will last me a month but since thurday I am down to my last pk. Glad he goes back to work tomorrow.

I spent £10.74 at Mr A was hoping not so spending anymore till next week but I had a bad day spent 2 hrs up A&E due to me falling down stairs badly brused arm but wanted to gat baby check out. All ok but didn't feel like cooking so got first takeaway this month pizza from Mr A and chips from chippy. I did also buy a very nice chocolate & cream cake I think I needed it.
Mr A also didn't charge me for all of my shopping again:j it was only 28p for a lemon they forgot but thats now £6.50 this week.

Shouldn't have to spend anymore this month as I have so much food in house and enough potatoes and runner beans from garden so shouldn't need any veg.

OMG that sounds awful hope you feel better soon, I would have needed cake too, look after yourself;)

I don't think it's any good worrying after the fact, it's too late hon, feel the guilt 1st so hopefully it will stop you. Only worry about the things you can change and learn from mistakes, take a deep breath and start again don't you think;)
